LAS VEGAS — It counted as only one sequence in a 40-minute NBA Summer League exhibition, but sometimes a single moment can reveal a larger truth about a young player’s potential.In the middle of the first quarter late Sunday afternoon, with the Washington Wizards on defense, 6-foot-9 wing AJ Dybantsa switched onto the Sacramento Kings’ 6-foot-2 rookie point guard, Darius Acuff Jr.Normally, that would be a mismatch in favor of a small, fleet-footed guard as talented as Acuff is. Not in this case, though.Acuff elevated for a pop-up 3-point jumper at the top of the arc. Dybantsa jumped, too, raising his left arm into the air, and swatted the ball, with one of his Wizards teammates collecting the rebound.The block demonstrated one of the reasons the Wizards selected Dybantsa with the top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Although Dybantsa has a well-earned reputation as a lethal scorer, team officials believe he can develop into an upper-level defender in time.“I think he should be All-Defense,” Wizards summer-league coach T.J. Sorrentine said. “He’s one of those … two-way players. You just see the size and the length and the way he moves. Once he nails down the way the NBA is played — he’s a sponge, so it’s going to happen quick — the sky’s the limit.”Dybantsa and second-year wing Will Riley led the Wizards to a 104-85 victory over the Kings at UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center, with Dybantsa doing a bit of everything and Riley scoring a game-high 32 points.Washington’s performance was impressive because it operated at an experience disadvantage. Sacramento already had played four summer-league games entering Sunday, posting a 3-0 record earlier this month in the California Classic and winning its NBA Summer League opener. Washington, on the other hand, had played only one summer-league game.
